Sweetheart V5: The Boss Is Too Kind By Hua Er Bao - Chapter 83

An hour passed as the game continued.

It was only then, the Marshal realized that he has summoned Jing Yi here to discuss something else. Without pausing the game he spoke in a faint voice,

“As the saying goes, the person who plays Go has a delicate and patient mind, then why did you bully Li Wei?”

Jing Yi kept her gaze over the board and a shallow smile formed over her lips,

“But it wasn’t I who did the bullying”

The Marshal glanced at her, he had only met her thrice after Lu Ming married her, and hence there was no personal opinion he had for her, but he had heard rumors and all those gossips from a variety of people.

However, the person he saw in front of him does not seem disrespectful and indecent. On the contrary, she emitted an air of elegance and was a straightforward woman.

So, when she said she didn’t bully, Marshal Lu believed her.

“Although you did nothing wrong, due to your reputation everyone will point their fingers at you nevertheless”

Jing Yi moved a piece and her attention was still on board as she replied,

“I don’t care about what others think, I did nothing wrong, so why should I bother?”Jing Yi could have said she was framed or something like that, but instead, her replay had made the Marshal pleased.

And he believed her words, the Jing Yi in front of him was completely different from the rumors, she was smart and graceful not to mention skilled as well.

After all, you can’t believe everything you hear.

Marshal Lu laughed after Jing Yi said this, earlier he hated this daughter-in-law but now he knew the rumors were just rumors.

They continued with the match, and the headmaster realized Jing Yi was more good than imagined, he decided she was smart and sensing the change in Marshal Lu, Jing Yi realized that if she succeeds in creating a good image in front of him, she might be able to remove the dirt from old Jing Yi’s name.

The Marshal was a powerful person in the city, who would dare question his opinion?

Now that she had shown she was no weak player in Go, she decided to hold back a little and let the Marshal win.

“I heard you broke my porcelain vase?”

“…” Jing Yi looked a little embarrassed, “Th-I didn’t mean it! And it was also not authentic…!”

The Marshal paused and looked at her, followed a smile,

“Child, don’t be too direct in the wording your thoughts, that can offend people. Sometimes you need to talk in a roundabout away”

“But won’t that mean being dishonest?” Judging by his reaction, it seemed as the Marshal knew about the vase being a fake all along,

“Humans have always been dishonest…”

“Then I refuse! Instead of being dishonest I would take rather take the consequences”The Marshal was impressed and chuckled again.

The game continued for two more hours, someone had came and requested the Marshal to meet guests now but he wasn’t listening.

It’s been years since he had a match this interesting.

It was probably a first.
